Mohsin Naqvi didn’t just organize the event; he made sure to personally meet the workers, share a meal with them, and let them know how much their dedication meant. Calling them the “true heroes of the nation,” he even invited them to watch the upcoming Pakistan vs. New Zealand match—a gesture that left many workers overwhelmed with appreciation.
One worker shared how Naqvi regularly visited the site, morning and evening, ensuring that everything stayed on track. It’s not every day you see such hands-on leadership, and it clearly made an impact.

It was more than just a meal—it was a celebration of teamwork, resilience, and the spirit of cricket in Pakistan.
